At present, China's carbon emissions rank first in the world, which not only brings huge challenges to the sustainable development of China's economy, but also brings more pressure from public opinion in the international community. With the outward migration of China's manufacturing industries to Southeast Asia, the carbon emissions embodied in trade has also been transferred. These trends provide a good opportunity to analyze the characteristics of transnational industrial restructuring and spatial structure transformation of carbon emissions between China and Southeast Asian countries. In 2020, ASEAN has become China's largest trading partner, and Thailand, due to its unique industrial structure and investment environment, will surely become one of the main ASEAN countries to undertake the transfer of China's manufacturing industry. Over the years, the shift of carbon emissions by the continuous transfer of a large number of basic manufacturing industries from China to Thailand promoted the release of Chine relocation of industries with low technology density and high-carbon emissions to effectively reduce environmental pressure in China.The specific expression profile and function of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in mammalian ovarian follicles, especially during the atresia process, are unclear. In this study, we verified and explored the expression and function of circ-ANKHD1 in granulosa cells. Our results showed that abundance of circ-ANKHD1 was significantly lower in the granulosa cells than that of ANKHD1. The expression of ANKHD1 was highest in the granulosa cells from follicles with a diameter of 5-6 mm and lowest in that with a diameter of 3-4 mm. Furthermore, the expression level of circ-ANKHD1 in the ovarian tissue of 1-day-old piglets was significantly higher than that of 17-month-old multiparous sows. The luciferase reporter assay showed the potential interaction between circ-ANKHD1 and miR-27a-3p/miR-142-5p. Furthermore, circ-ANKHD1 overexpression up-regulated SFRP1 expression, while miR-27a-3p overexpression suppressed SFRP1 expression in granulosa cells. Circ-ANKHD1 overexpression significantly decreased the cell apoptotic rates of the granulosa cells and repressed the cell population at G0/G1 and S phases but increased cell population at G2/M phase. Finally, circ-ANKHD1 overexpression increased the mRNA expression levels of Bcl-2 and cyclin D1 in the granulosa cells, while there are no effects on the mRNA expression levels of caspase-3, p53, Bax, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. In conclusion, our study for the first time identified a novel circRNA, circ-ANKHD1 that may be associated with the biological functions of granulosa cells. Circ-ANKHD1 may promote the granulosa cell proliferation, but attenuate apoptosis, and these effects may be associated with modulation of miR-27a-3p/SFRP1.The Lebanese economic crisis, financial crisis, and USD shortage were conducive to an increased drug addiction especially for students who feel that their future in Lebanon is not safe, as well as the psychological fragility of the Lebanese people, and the more permissive sociocultural context. Our study aimed to assess the addiction levels and profiles of university students in Lebanon, and thus to evaluate the rapid rising in dependence regarding smoking, alcohol, and illegal drug use during this crisis. This cross-sectional study was carried out between February and September 2020. A total of 467 participants (315 females, 152 males; Mage = 23.48 ± 6.03) were recruited through convenience sampling through several universities in Lebanon's governorates. Participants received the online link to the survey. Students were divided into three clusters as follows cluster 1, which corresponds to students with moderate addictions; cluster 2, which corresponds to students with high addictions; and cluster 3, which c the tendency of the young population to engage in such addictions.Since the invasion of the fall armyworm moth (Spodoptera frugiperda) in China in January 2019, damage to maize crops has gradually intensified, and chemical control has become the main control measure. This study aimed to examine methods of effective pest control while monitoring the environmental impact of pesticide use. The effectiveness of S. frugiperda pest control by foliar spraying and root irrigation of maize plants with acephate was determined, and the absorption, distribution, and dissipation of acephate and methamidophos by maize were studied. Field trials showed that acephate treatment at 6000 g a.i. ha-1 was the most effective for controlling S. frugiperda. Acephate and methamidophos were absorbed from the roots, transported upward, and concentrated in the leaves, particularly new leaves. The terminal residues of acephate and methamidophos in maize grains were below detectable levels at 60 days after treatment. The results demonstrate that acephate treatment via root irrigation can more effectively control the infestation of S. frugiperda in maize than acephate treatment via foliar spraying. The translocation and distribution of acephate and methamidophos by root irrigation were more uniform, and the holding efficiency was higher than those in foliar spraying, suggesting an extended period of control efficacy. This pest control method could be utilized to reduce pesticide residues while safely and efficiently controlling S. frugiperda infestation.Cadmium (Cd) is a recognized toxic metal and exerts serious hepatotoxicity in animals and humans. Rutin (RUT) is a dietary bioflavonoid with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. However, little is known about the alleviating effect of RUT against Cd-induced liver necroptosis. The aim of this study was to ascertain the ameliorative mechanism of RUT on necroptosis triggered by Cd in chicken liver. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/LAQ824(NVP-LAQ824).html One hundred twenty-eight 100-day-old Isa hens were randomly divided into four groups the control group, RUT group, Cd?+?RUT cotreated group, and Cd group. Cd exposure prominently elevated Cd accumulation and the activities of liver function indicators (ALT and AST). Furthermore, the histopathological results, the overexpression of genes (RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL) related to the necroptosis pathway, and low Caspase 8 levels in Cd-exposed chicken liver indicated that Cd intoxication induced necroptosis in chicken liver. Meanwhile, Cd administration drastically increased the levels of oxidizing stress biomarkers (ROS production, MDA content, iNOS activity, and NO generation), and obviously reduced the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx, and CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in chicken liver.
